From the kitchen | 2, 4, 6, 8 Cake (otherwise known as Butter Cake)

One of my Nan’s most common recipes was what she called a 2, 4, 6, 8 Cake – called such as it contained 2 eggs, 4 ounces of butter, 6 ounces of sugar, 8 ounces of self-raising flour and then half a cup of milk – and that’s it. Also known as a butter cake, I came across my Nan’s recipe card which basically just instructs you to mix it all together and bake for an hour – a woman of few words was my Nan! So I decided to give it a go and I used one of her old bundt tins.
